A little confusion overshadowed this one as two away teams showed up to play our lads but the boys weren’t phased one bit and dominated Crystal in the first half with Adam Croke, Paraic Murphy and Donnacha Hogan well on top in midfield. A super free kick by Evan Cleary opened the scoring and it was 1-0 at half time.
The second half was similar with little troubling our keeper and the two wingers in flying form with the returning Ryan Carroll and Pat Walsh a constant thorn in Crystal’s side. An Adam Croke free kick proved too hot to handle for the away keeper and Paraic Murphy reacted quickest to bundle the ball home. They ran down the clock from here but got a scare in injury time when Crystal converted a penalty. Good performance by all 16 with Paraic Murphy and Ryan Carroll the pick of the bunch.
